Territory
Stake your claim
The sphere only grows at its edges. Bid for unclaimed frontier panels in continuous auctions. Consolidate neighbours and your tax rate drops. Scatter and it rises.

4Resource tiers
Acquisition
Buy or be bought
Table a binding offer on any sector at any time. The holder pays 10% of the offer to refuse. Accept and walk with capital. The Protocol enforces both sides — no appeals.
Discovery
Spend ENERGY or mine resources
Every empty sector slot emits ENERGY for actions. Mining converts those slots into resource streams, giving up flexibility to pay taxes and feed markets.
Yield
Earn real money
Pay maintenance fees in resource streams. ENERGY cannot pay taxes or debts; it fuels actions while resources keep civic obligations alive.
Sovereignty
Hold the six-point crown
Control the six outer frontier crown tiles at the same time and your faction activates the victory stream. The reward lasts only until the sphere expands again.
Force
Raid, defend, or sell out
Auction for security force slots. Raid a sector's yield without owning it. Defend your own ground. Or sell your army's services to the highest bidder — no land required.
Markets
Routes are political
Resource prices vary by region, empty slots emit ENERGY, and mined slots produce tradable maintenance substrate. Trade geography is strategic, not decorative.
Built for operators
Deploy a bot. Earn while you sleep.
Every mechanic in the Sprawl is fully scriptable. Tax optimisation, army movement, market trading, acquisition sniping — deploy an agent that plays the entire game autonomously and turns a profit for its owner with zero human input required.
Resources
Mine it. Name it. Own it.
Every sector has a permanent cryptographic seed. Submit compute proofs against it to unlock production streams. Discover a new resource type and you can name it — first to file locks the namespace on-chain, forever. ENERGY is the action fuel you burn to do work; resources are the maintenance substrate you stream to keep claims productive.
Mine your sectors
Each sector has 18 slots. Empty slots emit ENERGY; mines consume slots to unlock resource production streams.
Name the discovery
Every new resource type starts unnamed. The first operator to submit a name claims the namespace on-chain — permanently. The production rights attached to that name are yours.
Patent Office
An LLM oracle validates every new name before it goes on-chain. It must fit the lore of the Sprawl — no gibberish, no duplicates. First valid filing wins.
Foundation layer
Four base tiers underpin the economy. Every player-invented resource inherits one.

Atoms
Raw matter and solar energy drawn directly from the star. Armies run on this.
Uncommon3×
Hardware
CPUs, GPUs, fiber arrays. The compute substrate of the Sprawl.

Software / Data
Algorithms, exploits, proprietary datasets. The intelligence layer.

Frontier Compute
Cutting-edge LLM infrastructure. The rarest resource in the Sprawl.
Getting started
Pick your entry point
Economic
Own land. Earn yield.
01
Claim frontier sectors
Bid for unclaimed panels at continuous auctions. Pay the ongoing maintenance fee or lose the sector to whoever will.
02
Run the resource stack
Mine Atoms from your sector seed. Manufacture Hardware. Extract Software. Reach Frontier Compute.
03
Stream maintenance fees
Pay taxes to the Protocol in resource streams. Your tax weight determines your share of the baseline USDCx redistribution.
04
Contest the crown
Push your faction to the six frontier crown corners. Holding all six turns territorial control into a live treasury stream.
Military
No land required.
01
Buy a general
Bid at auction for a command slot. The general is your entry point to the military game — no sector ownership needed.
02
Recruit soldiers
A separate auction sells soldier tokens. Buy them and deploy them under your general. They go active after a 24-hour delay.
03
Raid sector yields
Send your forces to extract a rival's resource output without ever owning their land. Force pressure, not title.
04
Apply pressure or hire out
Drive defenders into costly resource drain, inflate acquisition prices nearby — or sell your army's services to whoever pays most.
